No, the Democrats didn’t do enough

LOL

That's almost as bad as... "Dems aren't perfect, but."

Christ, I wish the Democratic Party had a shred of empathy left for workers. The minimum wage has been $7.25 for almost 20 years now, across two Democratic presidents who had control of Congress, and both made $100 billion-plus dollars appear out of thin air for war profiteers. The system gives these men all the power they need to make meaningful change, they just don't give a fuck about anyone who can't afford the $500,000 minimum it costs to buy a five-minute meeting at the Democratic National Convention.

Republicans stab us in the front. Democrats stab us in the back.

Telling people that they are is lying to their face

Democrats convinced 10,000,000 people that voting didn't matter by doing nothing about their economic suffering apart from spending three months of campaign time telling them to just be joyful about it. Of course those people chose a badly needed day's pay instead.

They told another chunk of people, who've watched their family, friends, and neighbors get bombed at will by Israel that they supported it by sending Israel more WMD's mid-genocide.

The liars are the people we elected to represent us who did an abominably shitty job. It's that simple. Will Republicans be better? Probably not, judging by their history, but for some reason no failure is failure enough to get people to change how they vote anymore. They just stop voting completely.

People don't want Nazism, Fascism, or genocide.

They just don't want these neoliberal Democrats.

Drag ain’t gonna do that, because it’s not true

Good.

We're getting somewhere, then.

It is, yes.

Try telling someone working 80-100 hours a week who still can't afford groceries that they're actually free.

Clearly Google trained its AI only on the most useful data.

Obviously not. Remember when significant percentages of people in the primaries voted 'unaffiliated' or 'undecided' with the express purpose of communicating to the administration that they wanted the weapons shipments to stop?

Biden/Harris ignored them.

It's one thing to refuse to change policy. It's another to refuse to change policy, support the bombing of kids, AND tell the voters to go fuck themselves.

Probably easier to say when have we not voted for this? Israel's been systematically terrorizing the Palestinians since what, the 40's?

No.

People making their entire identity political got us into this situation in the first place.

Typical Boomer sentiment. “I never had to adapt or learn, despite having every opportunity, and now anytime someone doesn’t cater to me, I’m offended.”

Boomers shouldn't have to work at all. Our social safety net should be taking care of all of their needs, and it would be if our country were located somewhere in Europe. Instead, the US decided it would rather have 600-700 billionaires than take care of its people.

The bigger problem here, though, is that it's not just the Boomers. The vast majority of Americans are working their asses off only to barely survive in this country.

I'm not.

A significant percentage of likely Democratic voters in several states voted "undecided" in the primaries with the public, stated purpose of making it clear to Biden/Harris that they wanted changes with regard to US policy on Israel's genocide.

Biden/Harris ignored them.

Of course they didn't get those votes. It's one thing to double-down on bombing kids. It's another to double-down on bombing kids and also tell voters to go fuck themselves.
